That's the MPS 6. It's been to a few carshows and scheduled for release in europe and (hopefully) in the states for 2006.

280hp awd. 2.3 turbo'd.

Are you sure you have your specs right??

280 out of a 4 banger???

Evo 8 is pushing around 290 out of a 2.0l

Back to the Blue Interior dash lights

Is there a way to change from orange to blue. Im changing the interior to match the exterior. I like the blue instead, it looks better.... If anyone can help me....

Sti's at 300 bhp . Dodge Neon SRT-4 puts out around 260 bhp (even though its rated for 215 bhp).

Even so, the final mazdaspeed 6 (in 2006/2007) will most likely be very dumbed down...probably around 240 or 260 hp I'd imagine, leaning to the 240. Remember that mazda doesn't want to outcompete other cars in their line up. The MPS or Mazdaspeed 6 will HAVE to be slower then the Rx8.

also to add the honda s*** 2000 is a 4 cyl

I'd like to welcome myself to the forum. I sometimes regret my decision to point my finger at the V6 Accord sedan, which I drive, but that decision has a long story behind it.

I'm sure many of us would like to hear that story, since when we are on these forums we pretty much dont have much to do anyway.

I would much rather have 280 out of a 4 banger made in Japan than a 6 banger made by FORD (POS). Also the sound of the engine would sound much mUCH MUCH sweeeeeeeter.

Mikey,

Out of all the ford designs and implementations of technology, the Duratec 3.0 V6 is probably the least "ford crap" out of anything they've ever constructed.

Its in use in many vehicles, VERY strong, and has a massive amount of spare parts available.

One of the fastest cars you can EVER buy uses a Ford Duratec 3.0 V6.

Around 360 bhp, runs circles around almost everything sans the supercars. 3.0 Ford Duractec V6. (Twin Turbo'd)

430-440 bhp. IS a supercar. This one of course uses forged pistons in the 3.0 Duratec shortblock, but the block is still the same. (3.0 Ford Duratec V6. Twin Turbo'd)

Calling the 3.0 Duractec a POS Ford, is a mistake many have made. At the track and the strip.

yeah ford doesn't make t0o bad of an engine....It's the trannys!

You aint going to convince me, I am stuck in my ways. If it's a Ford it's a POS to me although we are considering a V6 Mazda 6

 

[Necessity]

Isn't the 6s already faster than the 8 on the straights?

 

[crossbow]

Necessity,

Debately so. The mag reviews put the 8 as faster...but the mag reviews also underscore the 6's performance rather heavily...except for road and track's latest test, of 0-60 in 6.4 secs.

R&T test the 8 (new not broken in) at 0-60 in 5.9 sec. Its the lightness, the greatest offensive weapon . (Under 3000 lbs if you put nice rims/tires on)

As for hating ford...if you own any type of vehicle in the 90's...good chance of at least 10-20% of the parts being ford as is. Might as well just get used to the fact.

Don't believe me? Take your car apart and look for branding. You'll find all sorts of crazy cross-car parts in there .

 

[Da 6]

if you remove the battery ther is some type of sensor on the fire wall that has mits emblem on it....also vad sensor has the Mits emblem too (boom03) Maury who's the real father?

 

[crossbow]

Ya our car has lotsa mitsu parts . Some parts also say ford plainly, while others are mazda branded.

The only way you get a unique single off car now a days is if you buy an elitest car, like a ferrari, DB9, lambo, etc.
